Yuan Lei only had a stack of 2,700, and raised for almost all of it under the gun, leaving a single chip behind. Action folded to Jeffrey Evenhouse in the big blind, who put in a raise, committing Lei's remaining chip.
Lei called, and both players flipped their cards over.
Yuan Lei: A♦5♦ 
Jeffrey Evenhouse: A♠J♣
Although Lei flopped a straight draw on the 9♥4♠3♥ flop, the turn 7♥ and river K♠ were unable to save him.
The friendly table all said their goodbyes, and Lei headed to the exit.

"Sorry guys, give me one more minute," Jaka said.
Jaka eventually committed his stack into the middle and Gold showed Q♥Q♣ for a full house.
Jaka showed he held 7♥2♦ for trip deuces and wished his tablemates good luck before exiting the tournament area.
